VERSE 1:

Where the Piñon Mesa rolls
And the campfire cures your woes
Watchin' the sly roadrunner flee
On the tail of an autumn breeze
I'm leanin' against a juniper bole
As the creek water takes a stroll

CHORUS:

That's where you'll find me
Where the big back country lies
There the cowboy's free to ride
Out under New Mexico skies

VERSE 2:

Where the lean jack hops along
And the coyote sings his song
Up high the rocky spires shade
The sunny desert days
I'm leanin' against adobe walls of old
Their stories to be told

CHORUS:

That's where you'll find me
Where the big back country lies
There the cowboy's free to ride
Out under New Mexico skies

VERSE 3:

Just me and a covey of gamblin' quail
Lopin' down the Turquoise Trail

CHORUS:

That's where you'll find me
Where the big back country lies
There the cowboy's free to ride
Out under New Mexico skies
